The following prose poem is respect
fully dedicated 10 the continual kickers
who are constantly opposed to any i'm
prOvement for the benefit of the town,
on the ground that IT. will cost some
thing, directly or indirectly: saint
Peter sits by the heavenly gates, his
hands on the strings of Tyre, and he
sings a low A0ng as he patiently waits
for the souls of those who expire. He
hears In the distance the ch h)rus Ofsong,
that's wells from the foot of the throne,
and he smiles as the music is waited
along, and MARBLES lay of his own:
"There is room in this region for mill
lions of souls, who by sorrow and woe
were bereft; tits for those who have suf-
fered, the melody rolls, but the kickers
must turn to the left. There is room
for people, who, when they were young
persisted in sowing wild oats, but who
doomed mp their little city with sineu
and tongue, hut the kickers must go
with the goats There is room for the
people who pointed with pride to the
beauty and growth of their town, who
kept singing ITS fGaises till they died,
but the kickers will please amble down.
They'd say that the music was all out
of tune, and the angelic robes hand
me-downs, and they'd send for a jewell
er off to the moon to sample the gold
in the crowns. So while there Is room
| for a million of souls, who by their
sorrow aud woe were bereft. we want
no complaint of the music that rolls,
so the kfckers must turn to the left

TO NY WIFE.


Why need you care, dear wife, or heed.
The passing Of your carry gracef
What though the lilies Eupersede
The springtimc rOs,s Of your face.
What though the azure Of your eyes
Has mellOwed 10 a softer bluei
The fairest tinis that deck the skies
Are caught from twilight's fading hue.
Why should the ripened fruit regret
Its summer bloom, howe'er so fair9
Why need you sigh, though Time should set
His crown Of silver on your hairf
The sweetest fragrance OF the rose
Is from It's fading petals pressed.
And Nature spreads her earliest SHOWS
Above the flowers she loves the best
What care we for the vanished years,
Save for the fruit their summers brought
What care We for our fallen tears, ID
Save for the rainbows on them wroughti
Why should we mourn the joys We shared,
Or see them perish with regret,
Since on The fruit our hearts have Jared,
And memory keeps the raipbows YETI
What though our winter time has come,
And summers buds and blooms expirei
Love hath an ever radiant home,
And bids us welcome TO its fire.
Ho dwelt with us through all the spring;
We sheltered him from summers heat;
Now at his hearth wen sit and sing,
And let the wintry tempest beat.

A Mexican "arasher."

The impudence and daring of some of
these characterless Mexican adventurers.
whom one meets in tertulias here is almost
beyond belief. During the reign of the
Late Emperor MaXimilan and his ''poor
Carlotta," one of these fellows, with ideas
more hardy and enlarged than are usually
to be found among such gentry, not con-
tent with having run the gauntlet of for
tune with success and impunity, nor sat
isfied with the advantages which his
youth, good looks and assurance had pro-
cured him, had actually the vanity to i'm.
agine that his manifold attractions had
won the notice of the empress. After va
| rious preliminary reconnoiterings with his
opera glass of the royal box at the Teatro
Nacional, he determined on closer inves-
| tigation Through one of those persons
who are only too apt to lend their infiu-
ence to such abuses of royal condescension,
he requested and obtained an audience
with the empress.
On being admitted to her presence he
made grandiloquent speech, concluding
in the oriental manner by presenting to
her between his forefnger and thumb o
fragrant nosegay. Carlotta, invariably
kind and affable to every one, though
| greatly astonlshed at the fellow s presump-
ton, received the gift with her usual ur-
banity, not meaning to hurt the feelings of
the donor. A perfumed billet, couleur de
rose, dropped from the bouquet to the car
pet. The adventurer was very thankful
to be only kicked out for his daring, but
the forbearance of the empress elnboldened
him to continue his indiscreet attentions to
the royal box at the teatro until his con-
duct was observed by Macmillan, who on
finding him to be the hero of the bouquet,
ordered him off Immediately to the peni-
| tentiary of Belem. On the fall of the en-
pire he was released, whereupon he imme-
diately made his temperance in the ter
tulias of Mexico and was received as read
lily as if he had just stepped out of the
purifying waters of the Jordan Mexico

Mourning When Otter Belt Died.

Up on Beaver creek, in the nation, the
other day old Otter Belt, one of the great
est of the Comanche chiefs, succumbed to
the grim reaper death, and it was all in
his honor. He knew he was going to die,
and just five minutes before he breathed
his last they held him erect and rugged the
old chief out in his best war costume.
They painted him as red as sunset, set
his war bonnet on his head, tied up his
hair in beaver skins, and then laid him
down just as his spirit winged its flight.
Otter Belt, while good man for Conan
che, was rather inclined toward the doc
trines of Bri ham Young, only he con-
tented himself with less number of
wives-in fact, limited himself to five.
The way these squaws took on when the
chief was no more was sight never to
be forgotten. Taking sharp butcher
knives, they slashed their faces with long,
deep cuts, till they were covered with
blood. They also cut themselves in other
places, and then beat their bleeding bodies
and pulled their hair, all the while utter
ing the most doleful and plaintive cries.
They then burned everything they had,
their two tepees, furniture, clothing, and
all, even the biggest part Of the clothing
they wore There was a big crowd of
bucks present at the obsequies of course,
and, as is the Indian fashion, they slew
ten head Of horses in honor Of Otter Belts
memory. Among the horses they killed
was a favorite team Of Mr.. Press Adding
ton, on whose ranch Otter Belt resided.
Press won't like it much when he hears
that his trotters are dead, but When In
dians need horses for a funeral they never
stop to inquire who they belong o.--Fort
